Bobby Sandimanie,[2] better known by his stage name I-20, is an American rapper. He was originally known as Infamous 2-0 (on Ludacris's first two albums Incognegro and Back for the First Time), but changed his name to reflect the interstate route that runs through the Southeastern United States. He was discovered by Ludacris, who signed him to the Disturbing tha Peace record label.[2] In 2002, he appeared on six songs from Disturbing Tha Peace's 1st album Golden Grain ("Break Somethin'", "Smokin' Dro", "Can't Be Stopped (I Know)", "A-Town Hatz", "N.S.E.W." & "Outro On Ya Ass") and in 2004, I-20 released his debut album, Self Explanatory. It peaked at number 42 on the Billboard 200 and number five on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[3]
I-20 later appeared on Ludacris' seventh album Battle Of The Sexes on the song "B.O.T.S. Radio" along with Shawnna. Since that time he has teamed up with Platinum selling producer DJ Pain 1 to release multiple projects. He is also managed by Mark "ShaH" Evans.
